Crestron, InfoComm Partner on 4K Video Course

Crestron has partnered with InfoComm to offer a one-day course on 4K video installations at Crestron classrooms around the world.

Dubbed 4K in a Day, the first half of the event will be led by InfoComm University and "will address the leading challenges when it comes to distributing and engineering 4K solutions, including mismatched resolutions, new frame rate considerations, signal integrity issues, new cable length restrictions and source/display compatibility," according to a news release.

The second half of the event will be lead by Crestron "showcasing Crestron 4K video distribution solutions, conducting product demonstrations, holding tours of its state-of-the-art offices and experience centers and enabling valuable exchanges between Crestron trainers and students."

"With market needs driving 4K dominance, it is important for industry professionals to become proficient in this format to stay competitive," said David Labuskes, executive director and CEO of InfoComm International, in a prepared statement. "InfoComm is grateful to Crestron for hosting and underwriting these classes, so that more audiovisual professionals can learn how to overcome the challenges this format presents. Crestron's commitment to 4K education serves to highlight the industry leadership the company is well-known for."

InfoComm is an international trade association for the audiovisual and information communications industries.

Additional information will be available at the Crestron and InfoComm sites as the schedule for 4K in a Day events are finalized. Information about other classes offered by Crestron is available at crestron.com.
